How do you open a bank account for a block association?

Oh, and yes, I agree it gives more credibility than saying, "Just make the check out to Linda..."

The community board can give you more advice on this.

You might want incorporate your block association before you set up a bank account. I believe there's information on the state's website about this.

In our block association, we pay our dues in cash to the treasurer and no one asks for a receipt. It will take him years to amass enough to leave the country.

Banks will need a legal entity with a tax id number (TIN) to open an account. Is there a lawyer on the block that can help you set it up? You can probably put it in someone's name and SS# and add an FBO (for the benefit of) the block association.
